Yes but need more details, when you say member is that a QLD raceway member or SAU member, how many booked in so far, rules etc?

My tyres are .... how you say .. kinda bald so how strict will they be?

Saturday 17th of september. Breakfast meet folks so get your names down.

This one is a relatively short notice deal but that wont stop us having fun.

Cost is 25 dollars per member and 30 dollars per non member.

20/30 minutes track time plus a bacon and egg breakfast included in the price....Get on it!

nate,

it is a SAU club event so your fee is $30 since you are not a member. common sense applies to this event - do something wrong that causes or almost causes a crash and you WILL know about it.

the whole idea is not to race but to get out on a track and enjoy yourself.

questions I'm happy to answer them ( I am an exec for the club) or shoot noel a message.

For those unfamiliar with happy laps the event is designed to allow people to dip their toe in the water of track work in an relatively safe and enjoyable environment.

There are no rules regarding safety equipment etc (helmets not required, wear what you want) but as this is the case and this is a FUN event not a serious one there are rules governing track behaviour.

Passing is only allowed on the straights unless the car in front specifically waves you past, the car making the pass has the responsibility to do so safely and will be held accountable for anything that goes wrong. No dangerous driving or high risk stuff (don't dive under someone under brakes, no drifting, don't pass mid corner etc), speed is meant to be limited to "spirited" driving but who knows what that really means when you have R35's, E85 powered Evo's, built monsters like Sugar Daddy @500hp etc on track at the same time as almost stock daily driver R and V series Skylines. I was hitting around the 170kph mark at the kink at lakeside last time we did one of these to give you an idea of speed.

Common sense is the rule of the day. It is a brilliant event and loads of fun and at $30 for non SAuQld members including breakfast is as cheap a track experience as you will ever find.

To add to what has already been mentioned, There is a limit to the number of cars permitted to participate in the happy laps event. Treat the day like you would a club car cruise. You are all driving (in the same direction...) for the fun of it. Just like a club car cruise, you are alowed to have some fun, but if you do something stupid, you will be asked to leave.

So having said all that, you guys need to come down and join in the fun and have a good feed at the same time. It's early, but it'll be worth it!

Thanks very much, i will come down, i cant get any new tyres fast enough so my current ones will have to do, and as you said its just for fun and to see what driving on a track is like. What is the limit and is it open to friends that dont have a nissan v35?

Also from 7.15am to what time?

If you have mates who are keen they'd be more than welcome. Last event we had 2 Evo 8's, an SLK55 AMG, R32 Golf, Suzuki Swift Sport and a few other ring ins. We need to confirm numbers ASAP so post up confirmation in the thread in the qld section.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
